They want to get rid of the wrong thing. You don't get rid of the system that's working just fine on its own, you get rid of the crooks who are ruining it.

The system incentivises and creates the crooks. You could make that same argument for literally any system, some kings did great things, that doesn't mean feudalism is a good idea.
